EASTEC 2013: Gaging System

The new Equator 300 Extended Height comparative gage provides a 300-mm height that doubles the space below the measuring volume of the original model. The system can inspect features on parts up to 300-mm tall, with rapid changeover to smaller parts using an extended fixture plate spacer. By using fixturing that positions parts to within 1 mm of where the master was measured, there is no significant effect on system repeatability, and the need for expensive precision fixtures is removed. The Equator fixture plate can be easily exchanged for other plates or for fixture plate spacers. Renishaw Inc.Ph: 847-286-9953E-mail: susan.wilm@renishaw.com
